Meet a scientist, be a scientist!

Science at Cal and The Lawrence Hall of Science are hosting a full-blown SCIENCE-PALOOZA on the beautiful and spacious outdoor plaza of The Lawrence overlooking the Bay. This event will showcase 18 interactive and engaging STEM activities from UC Berkeley departments, student groups, scientists, artists, designers, and our partners.
Come enjoy science demos, experiments, hands-on activities, meet-the-scientists booths, and more! Science-Palooza’s outdoor activities on the plaza are completely free and take place between 11 AM–2 PM on April 30.

Entrance to the science center will be offered between 10 AM–5 PM at a reduced $5 rate. The Lawrence Hall of Science offers free admission to anyone with a state-issued EBT card with valid photo ID, as well as up to five additional individuals. Indoor museum activities are subject to capacity limits, so reservations are required and can be made here. If your group is larger than 24 individuals, please contact The Lawrence Registration Office by email at lhsreg@berkeley.edu.

We will also be offering a free shuttle service all day with help from Yoots from Shattuck Avenue at Addison Street near the Downtown Berkeley BART directly up to The Lawrence starting at 9:30 AM every hour on the half hour and departing the Lawrence every hour on the hour starting at 10:00 AM. Paid parking is also available at the Lawrence Hall of Science.

We will follow any and all county, city, and institutional COVID guidelines in place on event day, including masking, social distancing, and limiting consumption of food to outdoor areas.
